"IN EVERY SITUATION THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY EITHER TO ACT IN YOUR OWN BEHALF OR TO BETRAY YOURSELF. IT'S YOUR CHOICE."
"YOUR POOR SELF-CONCEPT MAY BE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH SUCH SELF-DISHONORING BEHAVIORS AS OVEREATING, ADDICTIONS, EXCESSIVE TELEVISION WATCHING, OR OBSESSIVE INTERNET SURFING."
Wow I never realized until now how much I put myself down... it's really sad. Committing to loving yourself is a very difficult concept but can be very rewarding i'm discovering... i always wondered what people were talking about when they say you have to love yourself to be able to love others... or do unto others as you would do to yourself... well, if that was the case everyone would be in deep trouble because i'm not very nice to myself.
Thinking on all the thoughts i have during the day towards myself can be self distructing, such as when you wake up and look at yourself in the mirror and say yuck i don't like that outfit or i look gross in that, then you get to work and you check your email and you have none( you tell yourself i'm not good enough for someone to have emailed me), there are a million things that we come across during the day that we put ourselves down over. All these negative things that we tell ourself usually come from something that has happened in our past that had a negative effect on us and we are reminded by the when certain things come up during the day. It's up to us to figure out what causes those negative attitudes we keep telling ourselves so we can start enjoying ourselves and tell ourselves that we are worth whatever it is we want to be worth.
"THE CHOICES WE MAKE IN EVERY SITUATION ARE A DIRECT REFLECTION OF WHO WE ARE!"
"THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE WAY TO ARRIVE AT AUTHENTIC SELF-LOVE, AND THAT IS TO REALIZE THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE FULLY SATISFIED ON A PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVEL."
"Love yourself in every direction. Love your amazing beautiful body. Love your wonderful intricate mind. Love your heart and all its exquiste emotions. Love your infinite eternal spirit." - AMen to that!!!
It's kind of awesome how the little things we do for ourselves can make us so much more happy and can also lift a huge weight off our own shoulders.. just knowing that you stood up for yourself, whatever the situation was. :]
SO go out and learn to love yourself and to treat yourself with respect!! :D
